Abstract
Íslensk nútímamálsorðabók (A Dictionary of Contemporary Icelandic - islenskordabok.is)
is a new dictionary designed for the web. It is largely modelled on the multilingual
ISLEX project (www.islex.is), inheriting its lemmalist as well as its general structure,
such as division into meanings, examples of use, information on the valency of verbs
and prepositions, the use of labels, pronunciations, illustrations etc. The fact that a
living language is always open to change has affected the work, so the dictionary’s
lemma list and other contents reflect the spoken and written Icelandic of today, this
also entails regular updates and additions to the material. The article first discusses
the predecessors of Íslensk nútímamálsorðabók, it also briefly deals with the publishing
history of Icelandic dictionaries. A description is given of the dictionary’s framework,
linguistic approach, contents and its main features, as well as the editorial policy of
the work as reflected in its vocabulary and definitions, and the way it deals with loan
words and slang. Three important aspects of the dictionary come into focus which all
can be said to be groundbreaking in Icelandic lexicography. These are: the processing
of all articles according to the lemma’s semantic fields, a heavy use of corpora, and
the dictionary’s original design for the web. Finally, some information is given on the
use of the dictionary since its opening in late 2016.
